Include Forms into Apex

Hi,
We have an old Oracle Forms 10g application (about 200 forms).
We are making a new Apex 3.2 application on 10g.
As we want users to familiarize with the new interface, we want to include forms in the new Apex application. Then we will progressively replace forms content by Apex content.
I tried to include the generated HTML code of a Form in an APEX region, it works, but it ask me again login/password for the Forms application, although I'm already authenticate in Apex. We use custom authentication scheme in apex (call to a web service), but Forms application uses database authentication.
As I have never worked with Oracle Forms, I would not have to modify too much things on it. So is there a way to pass a login/password from apex to Forms ? As we don't use database authentication, and as we need security, we can't pass them in the url as shown in this document.
In Roels blog, he speak about an APEX$CALL_FORM procedure but I can't find any information an that one, how to use it, parameters, etc... You have more information about it ?
Thanks.
Yann.

The (or a) normal way to start forms is by entering an URL like : http://localhost:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=apex
if you start a Form that way and look in the generated HTML you'll notice some HTML code (after ).
One of the lines is:
<PARAM NAME="serverArgs"
VALUE="escapeParams=true module=your.fmx userid= ...
If you generate that HTML with a procedure you can generated the userid/password@database at that location.
Dependent of IE or FF you have to put the code there or in the <EMBED tag further down.

Pasting text from Word into Apex Textarea

Hi Folks,
I have a client that wanted to transform their Word forms (something like customer survey) into Apex screens.. every thing went great but they noticed that when they try to copy text from the Word forms into Apex textareas some characters will show as an up-side-down question mark. Some characters are the apostrophe , consecutive dots (...) and so on. I don't know what is the best way to handle that, I am thinking about writing a function that escapes those characters for a passed text and add up decoding to it every time users encounter a news bad character..but maybe somebody has a better idea...
Thanks,
Sam

We had the same problem. If you can't update the character set, which is usually a big deal, then you can always use javascript to change the textfield or text area before the user clicks save. We have onchange events on all of our items to catch when an item saves and sets a flag to do an autosave when the click somewhere else in the application. You could use a similar function to translate the characters on the browser before they hit the database.
If you're going to be searching on this data, you probably don't want to store the special characters anyway. They will have to type in the characters to search and some of the MS characters can be misleading and cause them to not find what they're looking for.
The array configured_values is a string array where the first index is the bad character and the second index is the value to replace it with
function madeChange(e)
{ document.getElementById('P0_MADE_CHANGE').value='TRUE';
     if(e)
          var string = e.value;
     //If it is a text-area or a text-field
       if(isNaN(string))
     { var aux;
          for(i=0; i<(configured_values.length)-2;i=i+2)
          aux= eval('/' + String.fromCharCode(configured_values) + '/' + 'g');
string=string.replace(aux,configured_values[i+1]);
     e.value=string;

How to insert data from APEX form into two tables

Hi,
I'm running APEX 4.1 with Oracle XE 11g, having two tables CERTIFICATES and USER_FILES. Some of the (useless) fields are cut to reduce information:
CREATE TABLE CERTIFICATES
CERT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_OWNER NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_VENDOR NUMBER NOT NULL ,
CERT_NAME VARCHAR2 (128) ,
CERT_FILE NUMBER NOT NULL ,
) TABLESPACE CP_DATA
LOGGING;
ALTER TABLE CERTIFICATES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERTIFICATES_PK PRIMARY KEY ( CERT_ID ) ;
CREATE TABLE USER_FILES
FILE_ID NUMBER NOT NULL ,
FILENAME VARCHAR2 (128) ,
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB ,
MIMETYPE VARCHAR2 (32) ,
LAST_UPDATE_DATE DATE
) TABLESPACE CP_FILES
LOGGING
LOB ( BLOB_CONTENT ) STORE AS SECUREFILE
TABLESPACE CP_FILES
STORAGE (
PCTINCREASE 0
MINEXTENTS 1
MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED
FREELISTS 1
BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT
RETENTION
ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW
NOCACHE
ALTER TABLE USER_FILES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERT_FILES_PK PRIMARY KEY ( FILE_ID ) ;
ALTER TABLE CERTIFICATES
ADD CONSTRAINT CERTIFICATES_USER_FILES_FK FOREIGN KEY
CERT_FILE
REFERENCES USER_FILES
FILE_ID
NOT DEFERRABLE
What I'm trying to do is to allow users to fill out all the certificate data and upload a file in an APEX form. Once submitted the file should be uploaded in the USER_FILES table and all the fields along with CERT_ID, which is the foreign key pointing to the file in the USER_FILES table to be populated to the CERTIFICATES table. APEX wizard forms are based on one table and I'm unable to build form on both tables.
That's why I've created a view (V_CERT_FILES) on both tables and using INSTEAD OF trigger to insert/update both tables. I've done this before and updating this kind of views works perfect. Here is where the problem comes, if I'm updating the view all the data is updated correctly, but if I'm inserting into the view all the fields are populated at CERTIFICATES table, but for USER_FILES only the fields FILE_ID and LAST_UPDATE_DATE are populated. The rest three regarding the LOB are missing: BLOB_CONTENT, FILENAME, MIMETYPE. There are no errors when running this from APEX, but If I try to insert into the view from SQLDeveloper, I got this error:
ORA-22816: unsupported feature with RETURNING clause
ORA-06512: at line 1
As far as I know RETURNING clause in not supported in INSTEAD of triggers, although I didn't have any RETURNING clauses in my trigger (body is below).
Now the interesting stuff, after long tracing I found why this is happening:
First, insert is executed and the BLOB along with all its properties are uploaded to wwv_flow_file_objects$.
Then the following insert is executed to populate all the fields except the BLOB and it's properties, rowid is RETURNED, but as we know RETURNING clause is not supported in INSTEAD OF triggers, that's why I got error:
PARSE ERROR #1918608720:len=266 dep=3 uid=48 oct=2 lid=48 tim=1324569863593494 err=22816
INSERT INTO "SVE". "V_CERT_FILES" ( "CERT_ID", "CERT_OWNER", "CERT_VENDOR", "CERT_NAME", "BLOB_CONTENT") VALUES (:B1 ,:B2 ,:B3 ,:B4, ,EMPTY_BLOB()) RETURNING ROWID INTO :O0
CLOSE #1918608720:c=0,e=11,dep=3,type=0,tim=1324569863593909
EXEC #1820672032:c=3000,e=3168,p=0,cr=2,cu=4,mis=0,r=0,dep=2,og=1,plh=0,tim=1324569863593969
ERROR #43:err=22816 tim=1324569863593993
CLOSE #1820672032:c=0,e=43,dep=2,type=1,tim=1324569863594167
Next my trigger gets in action, sequences are generated, CERTIFICATES table is populated and then USER_FILES, but only the FILE_ID and LAST_UPDATE_DATE.
Finally update is fired against my view (V_CERT_FILES), reading data from wwv_flow_files it populates BLOB_CONTENT, MIMETYPE and FILENAME fields at the specific rowid in V_CERT_FILES, the one returned from the insert at the beginning. Last, file is deleted from wwv_flow_files.
I'm using sequences for the primary keys, this is only the body of the INSTEAD OF trigger:
select user_files_seq.nextval into l_file_id from dual;
select certificates_seq.nextval into l_cert_id from dual;
insert into user_files (file_id, filename, blob_content, mimetype, last_update_date) values (l_file_id, :n.filename, :n.blob_content, :n.mimetype, sysdate);
insert into certificates (cert_id, cert_owner, cert_vendor, cert_name, cert_file) values (l_cert_id, :n.cert_owner, :n.cert_vendor, :n.cert_name, l_file_id);
I'm surprised that I wasn't able to find a valuable source of information regarding this problem, only MOS note about running SQLoader against view with CLOB column and INSTEAD OF trigger. The solution would be to ran it against base table, MOS ID 795956.1.
Maybe I'm missing something and that's why I decided to share my problem here. So my question is how do you create this kind of architecture, insert into two tables with a relation between them in APEX ? I read a lot in the Internet, some advices were for creating custom form with APEX API, create a custom ARP, create two ARP or create a PL/SQL procedure for handing the DML?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sve

Thank you however I was wondering if there was an example available which uses EJB and persistence.

Image is not displayed in APEX Form with APEX utility Function

Dear APEX experts,
As i am new to the oracle apex development. I have just created the basic employee information form in which i upload the photograph of the employee. The photograph gets uploaded but it does not display properly. I have already referred the sample database application to display the image. Moreover, i have followed the same steps as it is used to display the product image in that application. Still i am unable to get result. I am getting following output:
<img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=35682&s=101496289174102&p=15&d=10639237623242912156&i=10639236703270912154&p_pk1=21&p_pk2=&p_ck=FCA12832591A1C706D76FDD589E551A2" />
Please help me seniors to solve this issue. How to display the image using this utility.

I have observed following HTML code after inspecting the two application.

Hence , in my application the code is not rendered perfectly and syntax is not completed.
following characters are rendered like this.: &lt , &quot , &gt , &amp.
So, is this the reason of not displaying the image???Yes.
To get a Display Item to render as HTML, in the item definition Security section set Escape special characters to No.
For a report column, ensure the Display Text As report column attribute is Standard Report Column rather than the default Display as Text (escape special characters).
Use a Display Image item and declarative BLOB support instead of this clunky manual method.
Please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already.
You'll get a faster, more effective response to your questions by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:

Oracle forms in APEX problem

Hi all,
I have called oracle forms into my oracle apex application through iframe but having few problems.
Sometimes oracle forms in iframe region got stuck and then not work any more and if I logout from apex and login again it still in that stuck position.
I don't no what to do now.
I am thinking that it is reading from cache and i tried to close browser and clear cache and then login it still in that position.
I want that whenever oracle forms are called it, does not read cache and run from scratch.
Any solution guys.....
Thanks

Save editable form into regular PDF document using Acrobat Reader

Hello,
With Adobe Pro, I've created a PDF form using the following:
Save As Other...
Reader Extended PDF
Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)...
Once saved, I am sending this form to colleagues for them to fill out. These colleagues only have access to Acrobat Reader.
What I'm hoping to do is to have them save the file into a regular PDF document with the info inserted in the form but without the option to change the form info (change from editable form to regular PDF file).
Thanks for your help.

Hrm, OK. Well I actually DON'T have my document set as a reader extended PDF. If i fill out my fields then try to use the sign feature, it's not flattening the fields when I save/close reopen. They are still editable.
Just as a test, I saved it as reader extended and the sign feature is grayed out as you stated it should be. I am using acrobat X to create my fields and using reader XI to test inputting data/saving.
I need users to be able to fill it out, save then send and the recipient NOT be able to modify the fields. Am I missing something with the sign feature?
Thanks again for the reply!

Inserting Fillable forms into PDFs converted from word

I need some help with inserting a fillable form I created in Live Cycle. When I go to insert the form into a file that was originally created in word and saved as a PDF,I receive a message (see below)
I need to be able to find a way to insert the fillable form to the end of a regular PDF, without losing the capabilities of the form, including a submit by email button, which I tried both as the Email submit button and the regular button, formatted to submit a email in response.
I don't know if there is some settings or preferences that I can change to be able to insert the form, but I need it to be one document.I know that this is not impossible, as I have seen other documents in this formatting, I just cant seem to be able to get it.

Importing Data into Apex 3.0.1

I know that this question has a simple answer, but here goes. I know how to import data into oracle using sql loader and sql insert commands but can Apex import data into a blank application form with multiple rows of data to import.
Like:
U_Id L_Name F_Name City State zip
15 Taylor Joe Atown Mi 42333
16 Jones Jim NewT Ky 43211
and 200 or 500 or more columes
Again I know how to import into Apex to create a new form from a spreadsheet or access, but I don't know how to move raw data from a text file into Apex.
Can this task be done.
Thanks,
Tim

Tim,
When an application is first created the developer has to specify the schema that will be used to parse (compile) all the code against. All you need to do is to use your existing knowledge of importing data into Oracle and import the data you want into the Parsing Schema of the application. Use Application Definition to find the parsing schema for your application.

PASSING DATA FROM FORM INTO REPORT (how to on the same page)

Hello everybody
yes, i know it is built in a two pages design where the first holds the form and the second the report, but I want it both on the same page so that one can see what he has on the report while adds his own row to the table. Well I could do creating a form and then editing the page and then add another region. Alright. But then i dont know how to relate them together so that the data pass from the form to the report.
Besides, the Form for filling the data needs to pass them to two separate tables, because one table contains the particulars of the location and the other the comments about each store. Easy to do that on PHP and mysql but here I am lost.
Second thing that is driving me nuts is that I created a table named location so as to street postcode for a store, and another one for evaluation so that customers or workers add a a row evaluating services etc.
Well, I am trying to create that form i first talked about that would hold all the fields and I am doing it out of a SQL query that picks the definitions from both tables. My XE is completely empty from any leftovers of other applications etc. I make the equijoin alright
select l.loc_id, l.company, l.postcode, l.street,l.town, e.eval_id, e.loc_id, e.locum_reg, e.date_booked, e.items, e.addicts, e.number_staff, e.attitude_staff, e.organisation, e.stock_filing, e.agency
from location l, evaluation e
where l.loc_id = e.loc_id
and i get this annoying error all the time
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on equijoin. ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_LOC_ID" id="1324114494879878" ORA-20001: Error page=2 item="P2_LOC_ID" id="1324114494879878" has same name as existing application-level item. ORA-0000: normal, successful completion
well, if that form is made up of both tables, it will definitively have to have something in common with them! how is the item name suppose to have another name? it is made with the wizzard so supposedly the wizzard should know it but I have tried for two days 14 hours each day.
any indication as to how solve this would be priceless for me
thank you
Alvaro

This should be so:
A person goes to work to place A
At the end of the day, he or she goes into the web fills the form and clicks the botton. Then, he or she has added a row to the form. As simple as that. But bear in mind that that form is comprised of data about the address and the comments, which are completely different entities, and not all elements of each entity is to appear in the report. That is why they have to go to two tables on the background and then the report pick from each table what it wants to show publiclly.
What I am actually trying to do is passing the values from the form into the two separate tables Location and Evaluation. Then I have already placed a select query under the report and I have seen that it updates itself as I manually filled the two tables so this process works fine. What I need is, instead of filling the tables manually as I am doing, fill them through the completion of the textfields of the form. This is so because not all the fields have to be shown on the report, for example, the person reporting will remain anonimous and that is something I am able to do by simply not including him in the select query of the report.
I am like exploring now the edit page possibilities and indeed I have discovered that the button of the Form that says create is associated with a Insert request on the database. Also i have seen that the way this works is by something like this P3_POSTCODE, &P3_POSTCODE where P3 is the item and &P3 is the value that is in the textfield associated with that item name.

Converting oracle forms into java forms

Hi all,,
would help me plz on how to convert oracle forms into java using any tool;
Is Jheadstart is the tool,, im having jeveloper version 10.1.2.1.0

There are at least two companies that are marketing Forms to Java conversion tools. I'm sure that a good Google search will locate them, and they are frequent exhibitors at Oracle-oriented conferences like Collaborate and ODTUG Kaleidoscope. But there are problems associated with doing this. I urge anyone who is considering such a project to read this article by Grant Ronald: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/formsmigration.pdf
You should carefully ask yourself and your clients and management, "Why do you want to do this?", "What benefits are you trying to realize?", "Does this make sense, and are there other options that we should be exploring?"
For instance, many people are trying to protect themselves because "Forms is going away". Oracle has stated again and again that Forms is NOT going away. In fact the recent Fusion Middleware 11g release included a new version of Forms with some significant enhancements. You may do very well just by upgrading to the latest version of Forms.
If you do decide that it still makes sense to convert, I suggest that rather that converting, you may want to redevelop from scratch. Keep the database if it is well designed - a well designed, stable database will outlast any front end that you may use against it. Then take full advantage of the capabilities of your new toolset, and leave behind the limitations and inapplicable methodologies of your old one. Oh, by the way, don't use JDeveloper 10.1.2. Use 11g if you can, or 10.1.3.5 if you must.

Adobe Acrobat 11 pro includes form central?

Hi, I am buying adobe acrobat 11pro, and I think it includes form central templates, if I wanna create conditional based form which I think PDF doesnt support, and I dont want to embed the form into website, so what are my options.
1. I want to create conditional form if I can do that in PDF is really good, like live cycle designer can do.
2. If I buy adobe acrobat 11 pro then I'll have access to form central ?
3. If I create a form in form central then is it possible I can see all the response in my inbox rather then seeing them online?

1-Acrobat XI and FormsCentral cannot create PDF forms with conditional logic. FormsCentral web forms do support conditional logic.
2-You have access to the free version. If you want additional capabilities you would need to purchase FormsCentral Basic or Plus subscription
3-FormsCentral supports sending email notifications that include a summary of the data in the email body text.

Integrating mutiple forms into one form using tab canvas

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to Forms 6.0 and also to this discussion. Could somebody please explain the pros/cons while integrating 8 maintenance forms into one form(Each page in the tab canvas representing one form)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aruna

If the maintenance forms are small, you can integrate them into a single form with a tab canvas, although 8 may prove difficult--try it and see what it looks like to have eight tab pages. Make sure the first block and field in the form navigator is the field you want to show at startup.
You would use multiple forms (1) to modularize largish chunks of complex code that don't interact with each other (2) to decouple logically separate applications (3) to decouple reusable modules that you can then pop into other applications (4) to create shareable components to share through an object library into base forms.
In your case, the main issue is the logical separation with reusability also raising its head. Each form is logically distinct for maintaining a specific set of tables, so putting it in a separate form makes sense. It would also allow you to reuse the maintenance forms in different applications without including everything. This might be a security issue, for example--some apps might need access to only some of the 8 forms.
Tab pages are also not as easily formatted as you might like, so check it out before assuming that tab page interfaces in Forms are your solution.

How to import 3.2 application into APEX 4.1

Hi,
I would like to import an APEX 3.2 application into APEX 4.0. Is this supposed to work?
Regards,
Tamas

Apex is built to make this process as smooth as possible.
In 4.x, there is a Utilities section for your application with an Upgrade Application option that provides a summary of all the components that can be "upgraded"
Apex tries to leave your application alone as much as possible, and in this report you'll see things like Date Picker items that can be automatically upgraded to the jQuery version. You can choose which components to automatically process.
The most trouble you'll have is if you have included any external libraries such as jQuery and there may be syntax differences, now that Apex 4.x includes jQuery components.

How to turn a table-based form into a master/detail ?

Hello, I have a form based on a table on which I have spent quite a bit of time adjusting presentation and adding dynamic actions.
Now comes the requirement to handle an open number of related records, ideally on the same page.
Has someone documented the steps needed to turn a record-based form into a master/detail one ?
I am using APEX 4..2.1

If you think your are missing something you could create the master detail pages for comparison. And delete these dummy pages when your done.
I finally got around to working on this. You got me on the right track Nicolette, so thank you for that.
I also had to fix bits in making processes conditional, and branching, too.
Mainly this has to do with the "delete checked" button which deletes detail records, and submits the page to itself.
One also needs to rename the REQUEST used in that case from MUTLI_ROW_DELETE to APPLY_CHANGES_MRD
(as this pattern will trigger an UPDATE for the master record)
All in all doable but one needs to be careful and generating a quick example M/D page for reference is useful.
In my case I reckon this was still faster than re-doing all the layout adjustments and DA's
(plus I got to better understand how this all works - there are a couple moving parts, all interdependent)
